Somebody shared this with me on Facebook. THIS is why you always wear your safety gear, folks! I once had a close call when the knot from a piece of plywood flew up, and got me just under the eye when I wasn't wearing my gear. Since then, I wear them every time. @WurthCanadaLtd https://t.co/xg2J0ApLDq

If you don’t have an HRV to cycle in fresh, treated air open your windows for about 15 minutes to promote an air exchange #TipTuesday https://t.co/9m1vj6fI0n
